Mechanima are a variety of mechanical creatures often resembling organic lifeforms brought to life via the power of anima. Their size is incredibly variable, ranging from about the trivial size of a cashew, all the way to continental. The origins of mechanima are as varied as their forms, be it animythi created them to enact their individual biddings, animancers brought them into being, or another mechanima brought one to life. They can be made of a wide range of materials, such as (but not limited to): stone, wood, metal, cloth, and/or glass. The most stable - and thusly the most common - are those primarily made of some sort of metal.

Classification

mechanima are primarily classified by their size and a general set of type characteristics, such as the number of limbs or their resemblance to organic life.

Size Classes

The size classes of mechanima range from Micro to Apex, with Micro being the smallest size class and Apex being the largest.

Micro

Micrus

Millo

Bantam

Bantamus

Moderate

Moderatus

Giant

Gigantus

Titan

Titanus

Leviathon

Leviathus

Apex

There exists only one known Apex-class mechanima. Apexia Mecha Majora - or simply just Majora - is the largest known mechanima in Vanquera. There are claims that there once existed more Apex-class mechanima (and thus claims that they still exist), though Majora remains the only known instance. Majora was considered so far beyond the rest that it was given its own category on the scale.
